^ That's funny.

Disappointing to say the least. Feels like a cruel joke, but it's not.

It's probably for the best since it now allows them to work on the script and decide what they want this sequel/spin-off/whatever to actually be.

Well, I have mixed feelings about this project to begin with (mostly positive), so I really hope this turns out to be a good thing--give them more time for the script, etc. etc.  I'd rather a great project that takes longer to bake, than a rushed project that disappoints.

[The Dark Knight]

MoS suffered a delay, and while a decent entry, could have done with a host of improvements. So more time is not always a good thing.

I was on the BOF forums, and Jett said there's some bad news on the way. AT first he made it sound like a positive thing, but he just said he got some more info on it, and there should be an announcement soon.

I'm thinking it has to do with casting.

I hope Affleck is still in.  I may be in the minority but I think he's a great pick for Batman and there are a heck of a lot worse choices out there.

I would be livid if Affleck withdrew, especially given the undeserved flack he received by those wankers. The last thing I want is for them to have satisfaction. Hopefully this is a rumour and nothing more.

While I'm supporting Affleck if he really does pull out of this I'll be joining all his hecklers. Michael Keaton had the balls to stay the course with all his negative reaction after all.

Not sure I believe this Warners crap about "fully realising their vision". Burton and Nolan did all that in their sleep on time and on schedule. Burton in fact in a more difficult time and with a hell of a lot more to prove. So why can't Snyder? I find this director more of a weak and concerning link than Affleck. Let's face it he aint no Richard Donner. So why on earth has this man been entrusted with the world's two most iconic superheroes? Perhaps because nobody else could be bothered to do the job in a climate saturated with too many superhero movies? The real shame is Robert Zemeckis (Back to the Future, Forest Gump, Death Becomes Her, Who Framed Roger Rabbit) I heard somewhere was offered "Man of Steel" and sadly turned it down. Oh man how I would have loved him bringing his talents to Superman. I think we missed something truly special there.

I think the real reason for the push back is purely profit. The 2015 summer slate was announced to be a madly packed and exciting collection of movies. Best summer since the days of 1989 potentially. Sadly it's now all been gutted like a fish. Studios are panicking there is too much competition so are obviously pulling out of the schedules to preserve their personal cash cows. Hasn't the new Star Wars even been pushed back? I think that film of all is the cause for the panic of money loss.
